Product Description
A life's work in a box-a box almost as beautiful as the music within. Inside the case-made, velvet-lined, lift-off box are 90 CDs in mini-jackets with original cover art. The discs contain nothing less than the recorded history of Yo-Yo Ma: 88 CDs of albums (including 15 Grammy winners) plus two CDs of bonus tracks-all remastered with DSD technology. The sum total of the music defies categorization: Hush with Bobby McFerrin, Appalachian Walts and Appalachian Journey with Mark O'Connor and Edgar Meyer, his stunning tributes to the music of Brazil ( Obrigado Brazil and Obrigado Brazil Live in Concert ), his hit collaboration album Songs of Joy & Peace and on and on. The 312-page hardbound book boasts rare photos, essays, artist bios, track lists, original liners, a glowing foreword by Emanuel Ax and messages from Ted Kennedy, James Taylor, Alan Alda, Alison Krauss, Dave Brubeck, Wynton Marsalis and many other admirers. Each limited-edition box comes individually numbered with a letter of authenticity a truly magnificent release from a once-in-a-generation talent.

It is very difficult to write a comprehensive review of this collection of albums. I use the word albums because many of the discs in the collection were initially released in either vinyl or on cassettes. Lots already exist on cd. The discs are housed in reproductions of the LP and can scratch the discs if the user is not conscious of this. I haven't had any problems with scratches myself.
What are you getting here? This is a relatively gimmick free box set. You get a remastered 90 disc collection of 30 years of recordings from the greatest cellist in my lifetime and therefore this has a very eclectic range of styles. Heavy on the classical recordings, but mixed in are his Brazilian efforts, Jazz and the collaborations with Mark O'Conner and many other amazing artists. But at the center of each disc is the whimsical and wonderful cello played by Yo-Yo Ma.
* 90 CDs - every original album Yo-Yo Ma has recorded to date plus 2 Bonus Discs of unreleased and rare recordings
* Entirely remastered with DSD technology
* 312-page hard-bound book
* Archival photos, essays, full track lists, original liner notes, and more
* Beautifully designed, velvet-lined box
* Numbered limited-edition
The only way to know what number you are getting is to open it up, but each one is individually numbered. The first few hundred included an autographed photo and a thank you letter, but the initial price at release was much more higher. It is nice without the photo and it is all housed in a nice looking box. There are ribbons inside to help keep the place of the disc you are currently listening to.
It sounds fantastic and has so much incredible music that you are getting weeks of listening pleasure most of which holds up on repeated plays. Put your headphones on and enter the world of a Master. He will take you places you haven't heard before...

A lot of love and care has gone into producing this box set. It is by far the best presented box set I have ever bought, truly a collector's item. You get a gorgeously published book, too. My only comment would be that I would appreciate an additional CD-ROM. Yo-Yo Ma is such a versatile artist/performer spanning different genera of classical music. He is quite remarkable in translating and capturing the cello voice into unique and delightful form. This set originally retailed for about $800, for under $300 it is an absolute bargain, a must have.
